Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

At the same time, Nan Xi opened her eyes in Zhou Sui's arms.

How could someone with such powerful mental strength at the peak of the apocalypse not sense that a kitten had secretly run away?

I just don't care.

She wasn't worried about any of the children's abilities, not to mention that each of them had been surrounded by demonic vines and secret guards since childhood.

When you are young, it is the time to pursue your dreams. Do whatever you want to do.

The fifth child, Nan Xixing, was much more obedient. Of the children, he most resembled Zhou Sui in both appearance and personality. However, he miraculously inherited Nan Xi's wood-related abilities.

Nan Xi: "..."

"You can't tell anyone, understand? This includes your father, grandfather, brothers and sisters, and your future wife and children!" Nan Xi used her mental power to give this warning.

In this ancient feudal era, if something went wrong, the youngest son would be burned to death as an alien.

"I understand, mother! Xing'er won't tell anyone!" Nan Xixing, who was still a little kid back then, agreed obediently.

Nan Xi felt mixed emotions about this matter.

In fact, she had discovered long ago that her daughter Nan Xiyue had also inherited some mental powers.

However, this ability was not perfect and would only work when she had a strong feeling about something. Otherwise, she was no different from an ordinary person.

But as a girl, Nan Xi felt that it was good for her to have a little more self-protection, so she wasn't worried about it. Besides, her daughter's bold personality never suffered any loss, so she was most worried about her youngest son.

My youngest son has the gentlest personality. What if he gets cheated in the future?

Brother Nan, who was far away in the northern border, asked: "Mom, are you sure?"

In the few times the two brothers met, he had already discovered that this youngest brother was gentle in appearance, but was darker than him inside, okay?

Two years passed in the blink of an eye.

Nan Xiyang's official position was promoted, but his wife Qu's pregnancy was still not moving.

Nan Xi had checked with the young couple and found nothing wrong with her health, so she didn't take it seriously. She wasn't someone who was in a rush to have a grandchild, so it was best to let nature take its course.

If that doesn't work, she'll just give him a fertility pill.

What she didn't expect was that before she, the mother-in-law, could say anything, Qu had already taken the initiative to arrange two concubines for Nan Xiyang.

When Nan Xi found out about this, one of the concubines was already pregnant.

Nan Xi: "..."

It’s hard to comment when I have mixed feelings.

Forget it, your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, so just mind your own business.

The youngest son, Nan Xixing, was brought back to the nest by the second princess, Xuanyuan Wenxuan, to be a prince consort. He was willing, and Nan Xi gave him enough "dowry" and left it alone.

I complained to Zhou Sui privately: My youngest son really takes after you. I told him to take your surname but you refused.

Zhou Sui just smiled gently, held her in his arms, and stroked her hair:

"The princess is right, Xing'er does follow me."

It is not a good thing for a man to be too handsome. He hopes Xing'er will just let him be. He doesn't know if Princess Wenxuan will treat Xing'er wholeheartedly like the princess treats him.

But he knew that Xing'er was not the same person he used to be.

He was sent to the Nan family along with four large boxes and a letter of severance. But Xing'er had the Zhenbei Palace, his mother, and his brothers behind him.

Of course, there is also his useless father.

He hadn't fallen into the mud in his life, thanks to the princess. Every day for so many years, he felt so grateful.

He thought that when he had time, he would discuss with Xing'er about living off a woman, no, it was a necessary skill for Princess Shang.

After all these years, Zhou Sui still looks extraordinarily handsome, but he has lost a little of his youthfulness and gained a little more mature charm, which makes him even more attractive.

Therefore, even though his talent and calligraphy and painting are now comparable to Liu Rugu's, he rarely takes the initiative to show up in public.

Nan Xi never restricted his freedom and was very confident in him. It was mainly because wherever he went, he would still attract crowds and onlookers.

And those greedy gazes.

He still subconsciously disliked it. He only liked Nan Xi staring at him, and liked the way Nan Xi drooled at his face and eight-pack abs.

Every time this happened, he felt indescribably happy. For this, well, all the effort he put in private was worth it.

Anyway, in this life, he will not let Xier have the chance to look at other men like this!

Nan Xi died at the age of 82.

General Nan died soon after witnessing the birth of the Nan family's fifth-generation grandson. Zhou Sui had passed away over a decade earlier. Lifespans in ancient times were short, and Nan Xi had no intention of letting him suffer.

Before his death, Zhou Sui was obsessed with the secret hut that Nan Xi gave him.

The man with a pale face held her hand tightly and refused to let go:

“No one…no one will give it…”

"Okay, I won't give it to anyone." Nan Xi gently stroked his face with her other hand.

"That is the gift I give to you alone in this world."

Zhou Sui struggled and tried to smile: "Am I... am I good-looking? Xier, don't, don't look down on me..."

"Of course you are the most beautiful," Nan Xi said without hesitation:

"In my heart, you have always been the most beautiful and best boy in the world, and the best father to my children..."

"I will never forget the day we got married. You were dressed in red, riding that black Ferghana horse... That day, my husband's beauty shocked the capital..."

After being married for many years, I have gradually become fluent in saying coaxing words, and now I can say them fluently.

Zhou Sui listened intently, taking his last breath with a smile. Nan Xi stopped talking only when she could no longer sense his life. At that moment, even someone as cold-hearted as her couldn't help but feel sad.

Amidst the mournful cries of her children and grandchildren, Nan Xi went to the cottage. She dismissed the guards and first used her wood-elemental powers to remove all the wood elements there. The once vibrant and beautiful little manor immediately became a sea of withered branches and fallen leaves.

For so many years here, no one else has been allowed in except the two of them who come to take a break from time to time.

Even my children and grandchildren don’t know this place exists.

Nan Xi then used her lightning powers, and soon the place was reduced to ruins. She then gathered the ruins, poured some gasoline from the space, and burned the remaining remains clean.

Let this little house go with Zhou Sui.

Three years after leaving home, the fourth son, Nan Xirui, brought back a woman from outside, saying that she was the young master of some martial arts sect and wanted to marry her.

Nan Xi followed his lead and gave him the house and money as usual.

By then, after three years of traveling, Nan Xirui had shed his youthful appearance and become much more mature. Nan Xi handed over the intelligence network and logistics caravans that Liu Rugu was responsible for to him. How he performed in the future was his own business.

Nan Xirui later opened a chain of escort agencies throughout Daiyue, and his business was also very successful.

The second son had always been with the crown prince and had a promising future. However, after the crown prince ascended the throne, he decided to withdraw from the government and set up his own academy to teach. His wife, Qu, finally gave birth to a legitimate son when the two concubines' sons and daughters were almost grown up.

Nan Xi left most of the antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and ancient books she had collected to her book-loving son. She also left him a few prescriptions, instructing him not to use them unless absolutely necessary.

Having been in the court for so many years, the second son certainly understands.

The reason why he retired from the political arena later on was because he and his elder brother were one civil and one military. If they both got high positions, the royal family would have trouble sleeping.
